Checkerboard Light Blue – Checkered non-woven wallpaper for the nursery and kids' room – Atelier Chien

A classic pattern with a fresh, playful twist! The Dambord Lichtblauw Wallpaper by Atelier Chien instantly gives the nursery or kid's room a special look. The delicate checkerboard pattern in a gorgeous soft light blue shade brings serenity, freshness, and character together. Perfect for anyone who loves a stylish interior with just that little extra touch of playfulness!

The small checks of about 3 cm form an even checkerboard pattern that gives the wall a cheerful yet calming appearance. The classic design has a subtle vintage charm and pairs wonderfully with a Scandinavian interior as well as a colorful kid's room with unique accents.

The fresh light blue color combines beautifully with natural wood tones, warm cream shades, and soft fabrics. Think of a light wooden crib, a soft rug, and accessories in natural or beige. For a playful and modern look, you can also pair the wallpaper with burgundy, olive green, or soft pink. It even creates a stunning, surprising contrast with dark walnut furniture.

Whether you want to wallpaper an entire room or give a cozy play corner a special accent, this checkerboard wallpaper makes it easy to create a space full of personality. The fine pattern is eye-catching enough to add character without ever feeling overwhelming.

The wallpaper is made of matte non-woven wallpaper with a calm, sophisticated finish. The material is FSC certified, VOC-free, and fire retardant. What's more, non-woven wallpaper is easy to apply because you paste the wall directly. This makes giving the nursery or children's bedroom a whole new look wonderfully easy.

Each package contains two wallpaper strips measuring 53 cm wide and 270 cm high. Together, they cover a wall width of 106 cm, provided the wall height falls within the available strip length.

The design was lovingly crafted with great attention to detail by Annechien, the designer behind Atelier Chien. Guided by her passion for color, special prints, and playful interiors, she creates designs that bring character to every room. The wallpaper is produced specially to order in the Netherlands.

A wonderful choice for a fresh nursery, cheerful kid's room, or unique play nook where natural materials and playful patterns come together.

How much wallpaper do you need?

Each package contains 2 strips measuring 53 cm wide and 270 cm high. Together, they cover a wall width of 106 cm, provided the wall height including trim allowance falls within the available strip length.

Step 1: Measure the total width and height of your wall.

Step 2: Add about 10 cm extra to the wall height to allow for minor variations in height or uneven ceilings.

Step 3: Divide the total wall width by 53 cm and round up to find the number of strips needed. Because each package contains two strips, divide this number by two and round up once more.

Important: We recommend ordering all required wallpaper strips in a single order to prevent any slight color variations between different production batches.

Installation

The Dambord Lichtblauw Wallpaper by Atelier Chien is made of non-woven wallpaper and can be applied directly to a pasted wall.

Preparation: Make sure the wall is clean, dry, smooth, and even before you begin.

Wallpaper paste: Use adhesive formulated specifically for non-woven wallpaper.

Application: Apply the paste evenly straight onto the wall and carefully hang the wallpaper strips edge to edge. Make sure the checkerboard pattern aligns seamlessly and the checks match up neatly.

Finishing: Carefully trim excess wallpaper using a sharp wallpaper knife for a clean, seamless finish.

Styling tip: Pair the light blue checkerboard wallpaper with natural wood furniture, soft cream colors, and linen accessories for a calm, timeless nursery. Add burgundy, olive green, or soft pink accents for a playful, contemporary look.
